Levallois-Perret
Skip as a destination: it's a wealthy Paris suburb with no major sights. Use only if you have business or a specific reason to be here — half a day is enough.
Levallois-Perret is a quiet, upmarket suburb northwest of Paris, reachable by Métro line 3. It has a handful of listed buildings (a former British hospital, a Protestant temple) and a few local bistros, but nothing that justifies a dedicated trip. Most visitors pass through en route to other parts of the Hauts-de-Seine or stay here for work.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Say 'bonjour madame/monsieur' on entering any shop, bus or office; avoid: Asking a question before saying bonjour — it is read as rude
- Cheek kisses (la bise): Follow the other person's lead; one to four kisses depending on region; avoid: Initiating la bise with strangers or in business
- Addressing people: Use 'vous' and titles until invited otherwise; avoid: First names and 'tu' with older people or staff
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated in restaurants; call the waiter 'monsieur' or 'madame'; avoid: 'Garçon', snapping fingers, asking for the bill before you are finished
- Conversation: Debate is a pleasure; food, politics and philosophy are fair game; avoid: Asking about salary or religion; loud voices on trains
- Dinner at a home: Bring flowers (not chrysanthemums), chocolates or a good bottle; arrive 10–15 minutes late; avoid: Cutting the tip off a cheese wedge or asking for ketchup
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders in churches; avoid: Beachwear in town centres
Scams and watch-outs
- No major tourist attractions: adjust expectations.
- Restaurants close early on Sundays and Mondays — check ahead.
- The former British Hospital is now leased to a tech company; no public interior access.
Very safe suburb; standard Paris-area precautions apply (watch for pickpockets on the Métro).
